tcc Command Examples

A tiny C compiler that can run C source files as scripts and otherwise has command-line options similar to gcc. More information: https://bellard.org/tcc/tcc-doc.html.

• Compile and link 2 source files to generate an executable:

tcc -o {{executable_name}} {{path/to/file1.c}} {{path/to/file2.c}}

• Directly run an input file like a script and pass arguments to it:

tcc -run {{path/to/source_file.c}} {{arguments}}

• Interpret C source files with a shebang inside the file:

#!{{/full/path/to/tcc}} -run
